Freedom of Expression - II


For those with short memory it will be interesting to remember the 'blasphemous' poster, as per Italian publicity watchdog IAP one year ago. "This kind of image cannot be parodied for commercial ends without offending the sensitivity of at least part of the population" said Italian publicity watchdog IAP. They said also "the ad's use of Christian symbols including a dove and a chalice "inevitably recalls the very foundations of the Christian faith". "This kind of image cannot be parodied for commercial ends without offending the sensitivity of at least part of the population," it said. And what is more, "One of the women apostles is kissing the naked torso of a man, which just makes the imitation more offensive."
Credits to "Bichos Carpinteiros" for the opportune article.
